Richard Baker
Restaurant group Benito’s Hat has appointed Richard Baker as its new chief executive.
Baker joins Benito’s Hat from Garfunkel’s, where he held the role of senior operations manager. He previously worked as a senior operations manager for TRG Concessions for four years.
Benito’s Hat founder Ben Fordham said: “Richard comes with a wealth of experience gleaned from a portfolio of restaurants that includes airport concessions.
“Over the past twelve months, we have successfully opened two new sites and improved like-for-like EBITDA by 24% year-to-date. Following another cash injection from our investors, the new appointment coincides with what promises to be an exciting year for Benito’s Hat, starting with a new opening at London Bridge this autumn.”
